Port of Rio Grande
The Port of Rio Grande is a port located on the right bank of the North Channel that connects the Patos Lagoon to the Atlantic Ocean, in Rio Grande municipality, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The port bar is kept open thanks to two jetties built in the mouth of the access channel.
It belongs to the Union, but its administration and exploration was granted in 1997 to the State of Rio Grande do Sul, which does so through the Superintendency of the Port of Rio Grande (SUPRG), a state authority linked to its Department of Transportation, since 2017, in addition to this port, manages the entire Gaucho hydroelectric system.
In 2009, Porto handled around 150 million tons, equivalent to 3% of all national traffic, making it the third largest port in Brazil.
